Chapter 2194 - 2395: Consecutive Accusations!!!

She looked at Father Gu with utter confusion, not understanding why he would hit her so viciously. Was it just because of this student, or because she slapped her student after he struck their son, and Father Gu flew into a rage and beat her up? Although this student has the power to put their company in a crisis, isn't there anything that can't be talked over? Why resort to violence without a word, even hitting your own wife.

She looked at Father Gu with a bewildered expression. Father Gu didn't want to bother with her at all and bluntly said, "Women are women, what do you know, get lost!"

Logically, she should be furious after being scolded by her husband like that, then fly into a rage and confront him. But upon seeing Father Gu's furious face, she instantly understood. She had never seen her husband this angry in decades. Now, seeing it so suddenly, she wasn't some ignorant and uncultured shrew; it was clear the situation was fishy, so she dared not say another word and quietly walked to the side, not daring to utter a syllable.

Father Gu felt relieved when she finally stopped making a fuss. Honestly, he was afraid his wife's words would anger Hao Jian. If Hao Jian got angry, he would be done for.

Only when Mother Gu finally calmed down did Father Gu's expression improve slightly. But regarding Hao Jian, he still didn't dare to say a word, even though Hao Jian had scolded and insulted him in front of so many people earlier.

After all, his lifeline was in Hao Jian's hands now. All it would take is a word from Hao Jian, and the little power he had left would be gone. If Hao Jian said something, all his lost assets might come back, so he had to bow before Hao Jian.

"Brother Hao, surely there's room for negotiation in this matter!" He now addressed Hao Jian as Brother Hao, even putting him on equal footing, indicating Hao Jian's elevated status.

Everyone could hear the change in address and held their breath anticipating the next developments.

Only Hao Jian was smiling, saying, "Room for negotiation? You're talking to me about room for negotiation, so show some sincerity!"

Hao Jian's words might not have been explicit, but everyone could pick up the implication that previously he wanted the principal to expel him, and the class teacher as well, so show some sincerity, don't expel.

Father Gu, having been in the business world for many years, understood the meaning instantly and walked up to the principal, saying, "Do not expel, no one is allowed to expel Brother Hao, understand? Also, Teacher Li, yes, she must be nominated for Teacher of the Year, such a good teacher deserves recognition, otherwise, you can no longer be principal."

The principal nodded repeatedly and agreed, but in his heart, he thought, you are the one who said to expel, now you say don't expel, isn't this just creating an uproar? He dared not voice his thoughts out loud.

After saying all this, Father Gu again darted over to Hao Jian, nodding and bowing with a look of ingratiation, asking, "Brother Hao, is this sincerity satisfactory enough for you, could you kindly reverse the decision now?"

Hao Jian chuckled, "Hmm, it's alright, but I'm still not satisfied!"

The matter had reached this stage, so what's the harm in prolonging it. Father Gu hurriedly asked, "Which part is unsatisfactory?"

Hao Jian laughed, pointing at Father Gu, saying, "Unsatisfied with you, slap yourself and I'll be satisfied."

"What?" Father Gu was stunned, completely unprepared for Hao Jian's request.

He actually wanted him to slap himself in public, which meant he would be humiliating himself in front of everyone. Hao Jian wanted him to lose face in front of everyone. Stunned, hearing Hao Jian say this, he didn't know whether to comply or not. If he did it, he'd lose face and never be able to show up here again, but if he didn't, he'd be defying Hao Jian's wishes. A single call from him earlier was enough to destroy his business empire. Now he was torn, unsure whether to do it or not.

But… in the face of pride and future livelihood, he yielded to reality. What is pride? Losing it this time means gaining it back next time, can't prioritize pride over livelihood, right? Pride is useless if you can't afford to eat.

"Slap!"

Just as everyone hesitated, wondering if Father Gu would comply with Hao Jian's request, a crisp slap suddenly shattered their thoughts. A single slap instantly brought them back to reality.

Indeed, Father Gu resolutely slapped himself, and not just anyone but himself. The slap was heavy, leaving a red mark on his face, revealing five bright red finger marks.

Everyone watching was baffled, the powerful Father Gu of Yun City's business world actually slapped himself on the orders of a student's words, and in front of so many people, humiliating himself. Ruthless, truly ruthless, letting everyone witness the tenacity of a businessman, showing not only can he act against others, but also himself.

A sense of fear arose, this spontaneous fear towards Father Gu, towards businessmen. At the same time, they feared Hao Jian even more—who was he, how powerful was he—they hadn't figured it out yet.

At this moment, Hao Jian started applauding, saying, "Good, really good, truly satisfying."

Father Gu retracted his hand, looking aggrieved, asking, "Brother Hao, are you satisfied now?"

Hao Jian nodded, saying, "Satisfied, very satisfied."

Father Gu beamed with satisfaction, pleased that he had received Hao Jian's approval. Now he could ask Hao Jian to retract his command, allowing his company and the Gu Corporation to revive, maintaining its top position in Yun City's business sector.

He grinned and asked, "So… can you make a call to retract the order?"

"Slap!" Just as Father Gu uttered those words, he was slapped. The slap wasn't from anyone else but Hao Jian, as soon as Father Gu spoke.

"You…" Father Gu was confused, not understanding what happened, looking at Hao Jian with a mix of confusion and slight anger, "What do you mean by this?"

Earlier, Hao Jian had been smiling, but now his smile disappeared, replaced by anger. He stepped forward, forcing Father Gu to take a step back, then stared him down saying, "Why? Just because your son commits heinous acts at school, and you as parents abet him, don't you know what kind of person your son is? Knowing how he behaves at school, still ignoring it, and helping him, relying on having some money to do as you please heinous acts."

"Bullying classmates, when their parents come to talk, you press them with money. Yes, you're wealthy, the poor beneath you in your eyes, you look down on people. Your son bullies others, you use money for them to submit, but when your son gets bullied, you come seeking justice." Hao Jian said.

"Aren't you arrogant, relying on having some stinking money, bullying people, humiliating them, wanting to expel me, and my class teacher, what kind of teacher, what kind of student you say, well I think it's more like what kind of parents have what kind of son, does this make you convinced?" Hao Jian questioned Father Gu.

Father Gu was dumbfounded, not expecting Hao Jian to fire such a series of charges at him.

Yet Hao Jian didn't give him any chance to breathe, continuing to accuse his misdeeds saying, "Weren't you persistent in the past, calling my parents over? Humiliating me, also wanting to humiliate my parents, now I made one call and you see my power? Afraid now?"

Hao Jian waved a hand, loudly saying, "Useless! Your little stinking money doesn't scare me, know that there are always greater people beyond, you may be formidable in Yun City, but in other places, what are you? Better to be humble, be substantial, lest you offend someone you shouldn't, not even knowing how you die."

Father Gu was dazed, bewildered by Hao Jian's words.

Continuously, everyone was stunned too, Hao Jian spoke to Father Gu and Father Gu dared not refute, in the past, who dared speak to him like this.

Actually, Hao Jian's words spoke their hearts, most had been humiliated by Gu Peng, even if they hadn't experienced it they had witnessed, knowing what kind of person Gu Peng was like, bullying people everywhere relying on family wealth.

Hao Jian's words resonated deeply with them.

They didn't think Hao Jian was untrustworthy, as Hao Jian never promised him anything, only directed him to do what he said, thus Hao Jian's actions weren't considered a breach of trust or faithlessness. Hao Jian's words brought them immense relief.

Words they had held inside for so long, expressed openly, it was incredibly satisfying.
